OCTOBER 7, 2014 RONDA'S CORNER Happy October! Don't you just love the colors and smells of Fall? It is absolutely my favorite time of the year.
I am attaching a copy of September's stats. Let me know if you have trouble viewing them.
Here is our survey about professional development for the coming year. Please try to fill it out by October 20th so I can send the results to the professional development committee.
"tool for teachers looking to create content for their students."
Hi Mary Ann,
Thank you for including TeachingBooks.net in your professional development sessions. You have fabulous, thoughtful librarians in your BOCES!
Here is a short highlight (tip) to share with attendees, or anyone else you think would be interested.
Hi,
Exciting students about books is one of those great moments for teachers and librarians. When I listened to Chris Grabenstein's Audio Name Pronunciation I want to read his books. Here is a link to over 1,800 Audio Name Pronunciations with great voices and stories to excite your students and children about the books they are reading .
Enjoy! Annette
